The Tension With Environmentalism

The problem with rare earths is not finding them, it's the sheer filthiness and dirt of actually getting them out of the earth. Do you really want that stuff to be happening on shore? That's a great question. There are some mines in the west that do get them. It also gets into the messy stakeholder versus shareholder debate. If low consumer prices and high stock prices are not the end-all, be-all metric, what are the metrics, messy questions? I feel like you just made a great case for carbon tax, then.
